VILAKAZI STREET<br />
One of the most famous streets in Soweto and, indeed, South<br />
Africa, Orlando West’s Vilakazi Street is a buzz of memorial<br />
attractions, restaurants, street performers, and arts and crafts.<br />
Vilakazi Street can also connect its world-famous status to two<br />
Nobel Peace Prizewinners: Archbishop Emeritus Desmond<br />
Tutu and the late former president Nelson Mandela, who once<br />
lived there. Their homes have now been turned into museums.<br />
Experienced tour guides will take you through the rich history<br />
and work these two gentlemen have achieved.<br />
For an authentic “kasi” meal, visitors to this street are spoilt<br />
for choice – restaurants such as Nambitha and Sakhumzi offer<br />
buffet-style serving options, a great way to experiment with<br />
different tastes and flavours. There are also restaurants that<br />
cater to the upmarket diner; try Thrive, Nexdor and Vilakazi<br />
Restaurant, if this is what you have in mind.<br />
Lichaba Car Wash offers more than just the name suggests:<br />
there’s also a chesa nyama (barbecue) and pub, a great way to<br />
spend a sunny day out in Soweto.<br />
